Publisher's Description

'Someone has said that when you have nothing left but God, you realize that God is enough. God had stood beside me when no one else wanted me. He was not going to abandon me now. God would have to heal the emotional pain that throbbed through my body.' As a child, Dorie was rejected by her mother, sent to live in an orphanage where she was regularly beaten by the orphanage director, was beaten time and again by cruel foster parents, and was daily told that she was ugly and unlovable. Dorie never knew love until a group of college students visited the orphanage and told her that God loved her. As she accepted that love, her life began to change. Dorie is the thrilling, true account of what God's love can do in a life. Doris Van Stone takes readers through the hard years of her childhood into her fascinating years as a missionary with her husband to the Dani tribe in New Guinea. With the rise of illegitimate births, the increase in divorce statistics, and the frightening escalation of child abuse, this story stands as a reminder that God's love, forgiveness, and grace are greater than human hurt and sorrow.

I just borrowed this book from our church library and I had it read in 2 days, a wonderful story. u wont want 2 put it down.. It shows u that even God can work and is with you even in difficult times... highly recommend DORIE...

I recommend this book to anyone who has any type of pain in their heart. It is also a good tool for those who are helping someone else work through problems. It gives you a picture of the wounded heart. The greatest message is there is hope and healing in Jesus.

This story was so sad, I could scarcely believe it...but the miracle of it all was that Doris didn't let it ruin her life. My heart goes out to all those who have suffered through similar circumstances. Thank God He can help anyone overcome anything that Satan meant for harm!
